About Shauna

Shauna Flynn is a counsellor who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She also helps those coping with trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, self-esteem and issues around intimacy. Shauna lists Men's wellbeing among her special interests and works with people on parenting, sleep and eating difficulties, and ADHD-related challenges.

Shauna draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape present behaviour. She uses attachment theory to help people understand their patterns in close relationships. Transactional analysis features in her work to clarify communication styles and recurring roles people adopt in relationships.

Her approach is practical and reflective. Shauna helps people spot repeated patterns, name feelings, and try small changes between sessions. She aims to make therapy a space for steady progress rather than quick fixes, and she adapts strategies to each person’s life and goals.

Shauna holds the NCPS credential. She has three years of experience and is based in the United Kingdom. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. The therapy process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability.

People looking to explore difficult past experiences, improve relationships, or manage anxiety and addiction issues can expect a collaborative working style. Shauna emphasises understanding, paced change, and practical steps that fit into everyday life.

Approaches that guide online counselling

Shauna commonly uses psychodynamic ideas to help people see how earlier experiences shape current behaviour. This approach focuses on patterns and recurring themes that influence feelings and relationships, which can be helpful for people dealing with attachment problems, abandonment issues or long-standing relational patterns.

She also draws on attachment theory to map how people relate to others. That work aims to identify unhelpful interaction cycles and develop new ways of connecting that reduce conflict and isolation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Shauna works collaboratively to decide what methods best match a person's needs, goals and preferences, adjusting over time as new issues emerge or progress is made.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people access a counsellor from another region or country. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find that remote sessions support continuity of care when life gets in the way of face-to-face appointments.
